Can't we move away from this dama? The project failed twice before it opened, and of course everyone is to blame but Izmirlian...

This is a repeat of the first failure where Baha Mar accused Harrah’s of fraud:

“Judge Charles Ramos, sitting in the New York State Supreme Court, said Baha Mar had alleged that Harrah’s, and its Caesars Bahamas Investment Corporation subsidiary, had “misrepresented their intent” to proceed with the project and close their joint venture deal.
This allegation, the judge said, was premised on the claim that despite agreeing to the Supplemental Heads of Agreement that Baha Mar signed with the Bahamian government on January 31, 2008, Harrah’s concealed that its private equity owners, Apollo and Texas Pacific, had already decided not to proceed. This decision was allegedly made at a Harrah’s meeting three days earlier, on January 28, 2008.

However, Judge Ramos found: “Baha Mar’s fraud claim fails because it is unsupported by any evidence that Caesars Bahamas and Harrah’s knowingly intended to deceive Baha Mar with respect to unconditionally going forward with the project.

“There is simply no evidence that Caesars Bahamas and Harrah’s made a definitive decision on January 28, 2008, to abandon the project, while agreeing to the execution of the Supplemental Heads of Agreement just days later.”

Baha Mar had alleged the fraud was exposed by the affidavit deposition of Harrah’s chief executive, Gary Loveman, who had said that “a view was forming in the late part of January that proceeding with the project was probably not a good idea at that time”.”

And this is how it ended:

"Baha Mar has agreed to pay US gaming giant Harrah's Entertainment $12.174 million to cover the legal costs it incurred in defending itself against the Cable Beach developer's breach of contract and other claims made over their failed $2.6 billion joint venture."

"The Russian Ukrainian War, coupled with COVID, has led to hyperinflation across the board." Correction: Lockdowns, money printing, record government borrowing and sanctions have lead to hyperinflation. In other words this is all self inflicted by our governments...

How about buying Russian oil that is being discounted on world markets by up to 40%? That would bring back gas to below $4 a gallon.

Will Smith can thank god for being a black man. Had he been white, he would probably be in jail for assault and he would never work again in Hollywood...and Chris Rock would have received the support of Biden, Pelosi and all the others Democrats against a horrendous racist aggression.
